Is your child's target weight a gift to the eating disorder?
By Eva Musby
“you can’t beat an eating disorder if you’re attached to a weight target that has been set too low. A target is one at which the brain and the mind are healthy, not just heart rate or blood pressure."

Essential reading for all health professionals that work with kids and parents of kids with EDs.
